    This is one of the best custom built CNC i have seen on TH-cam. Most of them are made by people with huge experience in mechanics, tons of tools and another lathe or router. Thing is that people watching those videos don't have either experience, nor tools, and definetly lathe, so Your video is very helpful and inspiring.

    First thought @0:10 : "What a piece of crap!!"
    Second thought @ 2:00 : "Y'know.. you could learn a lot from this project, and not spend a lot of money"
    Third thought @ 3:00 : "Well, shoot. Why didn't I think of doing this earlier?!!? What is there to lose?"
    Hats off to you!

    @CNC Kitchen Hey! Just wanted to thank you, saw your video over a year ago with this machine in it, and decided to build my own. The first one was kinda bad, but it worked, currently testing the second iteration, and it works great.
    Chinese router, with box section frame, metric threads, and a with a workspace of 320x250x60.
    Interestingly mine also looses steps, with specific feeds. It was a nightmare to debug, but I think I finally got it working.
    Tried the drawer sliders, but they got real bad deflection, currently using 3d printer bearings for small loads, and a combination of 608 bearings on an aluminium profile for high loads.Works great.
    Thanks for your work.Great video, as always.

    I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

    @MikeyFirst 5 ปีที่แล้ว +63

    Five years ago I had the same plan, building a cnc router. I wanted to incorporate parts from old printers etc. but I realised soon enough it would be too big a challenge to fit all these parts together and have a rigid and accurate machine. So I decided to design my own cnc router. Therefor I had to buy some tools and use the expertise of a colleague at work to fabricate one or two parts. The rest I did by myself. The build took four years, it seemed like forever, but the ton of experience I got is priceless. Nice videos Stefan! Keep posting.

    Wow! Tastefully done! I was just in the process of making my own DIY CNC router out of parts scrounged from my garage, the backyard, a junk bin full of stuff that maybe would come in handy someday, like IKEA bed frame birch plywood that was up in the attic for decades! And old drawer glides! I was going to buy a really good one for about $500 but my wife convinced me to try and do it myself. I actually like making tools better than using them to make stuff.

    I made a 4ftx6ft version of this from plans I bought online back in 2004. It used 1.5"x3.5" (2x4) lumber from Home Depot which I sealed with a polyurethane varnish.
    I used NEMA 23, 1/4" adjustable hand router, 30V 200W supply and 100W current chopping stepper drivers from China for $50 each.
    All was run on a parallel port of an old 286 PC saved from landfill, running DOS 6.22 and TurboCNC sw. I wrote my own gcode by hand to cut my kitchen cabinet doors.
    After I was done with it, I sold it for $750. It costed me around $300 to build it.
